I absolutely love this sweater. I stocked up around black Friday and I have it in 5 different colors and want every color they have because it is so comfortable. I'm 5'3 165lbs with broad shoulders and carry my weight in my midsection and I got a L, could have sized down to the medium, but the medium was too short length wise for my liking, so I stuck with a L. It is perfectly oversized without being boxy or frumpy looking. I've followed the directions to wash in a laundry bag and have had no issues. I lay them out to dry, and they are still perfect. They lose some of their softness but still just as comfy. The only color I've had a slight issue with after washing is the black, it seemed to feel a little scratchier after washing compared to the other colors. I might try a fabric softener next time I wash to see if it helps. Overall, BUY IT!
